Biography/Profile
Iowa State University's student newspaper began publication on August 7, 1890, as the Iowa State Agricultural Student. This name would change several times over the ensuing decades becoming the Iowa State Student in 1896, the Iowa State Daily Student in 1938, and, finally, the Iowa State Daily in 1947. The physical size of the paper changed sizes over time as did the rate of publication. The original 1890 paper was tabloid sized and printed weekly. The paper was published daily starting in 1938, except for summer months when it was printed on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule.
For many years, the Iowa State Daily offices were in Hamilton Hall. In 2015, their offices moved to the Kingland Building in the Campustown area of Ames.
